Hi everyone, I'm Guil,

I'm happy that you've join me here to continue your React learning journey.

In React basics, you learn the fundamentals of React by

building a scoreboard application with basic functionality.

Along the way we explore key concepts and features of React.

You created React elements with JSX, built pieces of the UI with components.

Passed dynamic information into components with props, and

use state, an event handlers to add interactivity to the app.

If none of this sounds familiar, be sure to complete the prerequisite for

this course, then meet me right back here to level your React skills.

Components, as you've learned, are at the heart of React,

just about everything in React is a component.

A component is a function or class that optionally accepts inputs and

renders a part of your UI.

So the focus of this course is on different approaches, and

best practices to write in components that communicate with each other,

to create dynamic interactive UI's.

You will build up the scoreboard application by implementing features that

let you add players.

Display the total player points, and create a stopwatch with Start, Stop, and

Reset functionality.

First, you'll set up and run your React app using a professional built system.

Then you'll learn how to break up components into independent modules, and

combine them to build your UI.

I'll teach new ways to manage state and

data flow, design patterns to improve the readability of your code and lots more.

By the end, you will have gained a deeper understanding of React components, and

some of the technical aspects of react development.

Away we go.
